Thermomix Pulut Hitam
The concept of having rice for dessert is enough to make my screw my face up in confusion.
WHY would I want rice and more carbs for dessert?
It’s like, why serve potato in a rice or pasta dish? Carb on carb action.
Yet, for some reason, I don’t seem to think of pulut hitam as a rice dish.
Yes. I’m delusional.
Sticky rice rice with mango also isn’t technically a rice dish for me. I think it must be Asian rice desserts aren’t carby in my eyes… who knows!
I can’t remember the first time I had pulut hitam. It was no doubt on a trip to the motherland, Malaysia. It’s also a dish I’ve enjoyed at a few restaurants down here, with the alteration of serving it with ice-cream instead of coconut milk. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it people! Coconut ice-cream if you can, if not; vanilla does the job!
If you are wondering where to buy black glutinous rice from, any good Asian grocer should stock it.
Bubur Pulut Hitam (Black Glutinous Rice Pudding)
Print RecipeIngredients
- 200g black glutinous rice
- 1.3L water
- 2 pandan leaves, cut into 5cm pieces
- 50g sugar
- 100g dark palm sugar
- coconut cream or coconut ice-cream, to serve
Instructions
- Rinse rice and place into a fry pan. Stir over gentle heat until rice is dry and slightly toasted. Soak in enough water just to cover and for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Place rice, water and pandan leaves into TM bowl and cook for 15 minutes at Varoma temperature on Reverse + speed 1. Remove MC and cover with basket if it bubbles up too much.
- Add sugar and palm sugar and cook for 40-50 minutes at 100C on Reverse + speed 1.5 (Pulut Hitam is cooked when it thickens and grains are soft).
- Serve hot with coconut cream drizzled on top or cold with coconut cream and ice-cream.

My favourite!!!! With lots and lots of coconut cream. Hehe! 😛 #suchafatty I miss having all sorts of tong-shui in Malaysia. 🙁 Should make this soon, but I guess I will have to make do with the manual way.

I love love love black glutinous rice. I never appreciated it as I ate it all the time when I was younger, but since I realised mum makes it (she usually offloads it to friends) I’ve told her never to share them ever again! lol

That looks dreamy. I think it’s time it came out of my Thermomix and into my bowl. 🙂
Marta @ What Should I eat for breakfast today

I love having rice pudding for dessert so can certainly see how rice for dessert works!

I made rice pudding for dessert on Saturday for a friend who is allergic to practically everything. I have never been keen on rice for dessert and had actually never tried rice pudding before. J loves it though. The one I made was a cold version (so I didn’t have to cook it after dinner with everyone watching). I didn’t really like it, but it did taste better when it was warm when I first cooked it.

Hey hey you know what my friend left her Thermomix by mistake it’s been sitting on my benchtop for over a week I doubt she’s coming to get it anytime soon. Think I’ll sneakily use it before she comes by to pick it up kaka

Hi this looks delicious- can you make without the pandanus leaves?
Iron Chef Shellie
You won’t get the full flavour without them I’d say 🙂
Elisabeth
HELP!
I need to make this tonight and could only get frozen Pandan leaves, they are pre cut into approx 15cm sections, how many pieces would equal 1 pandan leaf?
Iron Chef Shellie
Hi, probably 3-4 should do it 🙂

I tried this recipe but it didn’t turn out like the one cook over the stove. The rice didn’t break and the liquid was very watery. Any clue what went wrong?
Iron Chef Shellie
I’m not sure sorry, perhaps you didn’t soak the rice long enough?
